Party secretary-general Marzuki Yahya confirmed in a statement on Thursday, that Bersatu’s supreme council has unanimously rejected Mahathir’s resignation as party chief in a meeting last Tuesday.
“Following the meetings today and YAB Tun’s reconsideration, he has agreed to return as the party chief of Bersatu effective immediately..” he added.
